I no longer work for WIU (my last day was May 28, 1999.) I now work for Penn State University, in the Distributed Systems Group, Center for Academic Computing.

Thanks for visiting. - Justin Elliott

Welcome to the home page of

This page is going under major reconstruction - things will move, but will still be accessible on other pages. I am aware that a lot of the below links are dead. I'm fixing them, albeit slowly.

Macintosh Computer Lab Support

• Hi-Resolution:Check out MacPrefect! (Yes, it's spelled *MacPrefect.*) It is a dream come true for administration of MANY Lab Macs! In addition, it WORKS very well with RevRDist!

• RevRdist: A Freeware, hard disk Management Utility, written by Dale Talcott.
• RevRdist ListServ Archive

• Macintosh (Lab) Supporter's Home Page
• Macintosh Manager's Home Page

• Jon's Lab Pack - I haven't used this yet, but it looks promising!

NOTE: All color graphics on my pages were captured with a Connectix Color QuickCam. The camera is a toy/digital camera, that plugs into a serial port! It CAN make quicktime movies (see below), but the serial port speed only allows such a high frame rate...

A good Link for More QuickCam Info
